£190 and still going up!

I’m actually quite chuffed. When I signed up to do the 5km run, one of the questions they asked is how much they thought I could raise. I said £200…and honestly, that’s how much I thought I’d be able to get, and looky here, I have now reached £190…just a tenner away!

Needless to say I have since increased the target sum for this run.

According to Christian Aid, £190 is 2 teacher’s annual salaries in Bangladesh, plus basic essentials for an Angolian family. Quite a lot for what has been donated so far.

Its funny how there was so much fight for change last year with the G8 summit, but yet the politicians and governments have so far fallen short of meeting targets.

I wasn’t around to campaign for making poverty history, but it is something that I strongly believe in, and hope others follow too. So for those that have donated so far, THANK YOU, and to those that have still to donate…what are you waiting for?!?!? ;)

CSS Caching Hack

I’ve been coming across a problem with one of the benefits of using CSS for layout…caching!

For those of you that may update their css files on a site that you frequently visit, you need to consider the fact that even though the html may change, the css file will remain the same on the client side (due to the caching).

Stefan Hayden has found a fix for this, which he wrote around April (I guess I was a bit slow on this issue), so HURRAH, looks like there is a solution to accessing different versions of css files without the need of renaming the files! :D
